SKINCARE Tania is the founder of Bordeaux Kitchen Naturals, LLC, a natural, tallow-based beauty products company that supports regenerative agriculture and nutrient dense, truly nourishing formulations for the skin in the form of lip balms, face and body creams, deodorants, and soaps. The Bordeaux Kitchen Naturals Story “Unable to find truly chemical-free products for my skin, I began making my own lip and body balms using only pure, natural ingredients. My family and friends soon raved about how the pure beeswax and organic, pasture-raised tallow soothed their dry skin like nothing else. So, in early 2020, I created Bordeaux Kitchen Naturals to share handcrafted soaps and skin care products made from 100% natural ingredients and inspired by the French country traditions that I chronicled in The Bordeaux Kitchen, a guide to French ancestral cuisine.” LIFESTYLE Now residing in Virginia with her diplomat husband and two daughters, Tania continues to explore traditional French cuisine and European culture. She offers “once-in-a-lifetime” curated small group tours each year with destinations ranging from Bordeaux to the Swiss Alps, Paris, and Provence! Tania is currently writing her next book ….The Bordeaux Kitchen Organ Meats Cookbook with French organ meats and other nutrient-dense recipes, keeping her busy writing, researching, and photographing the recipes. She has been learning many of them from French chefs and home cooks since her first book was published in 2018!
